Abstract

Present considerations in interactive display activity are brought into perspective. Emphasizing programming aspects, varying approaches are considered with respect to system concepts and peripheral graphics processors, as well as complex data structures, high-level languages, and image-generation techniques. Many of the problems discussed are not unique to graphics systems but are common to interactive systems in general. The requirements for a conversational system to support programmers and application users are listed in the Appendix. An extensive bibliography has been added as basic reference for this issue.
